A wedding is one of the most important days of your life. I try to go above and beyond not only with your photography services, but as a friend who helps in ways that most photographers won't. The biggest thing with your photography is knowing you can trust the person you have hired to get all the shots you want and I make sure that is all addressed prior to the day of your wedding. I also make sure that we have scheduling down and a must have list with any special requests so that when you get your disc, you don't have any issues. Your wedding day should be fun, not stressful and drama riddled. I do whatever I can to make that happen. Your happiness shines through in your pictures and I strive to make sure that there is nothing that troubles you that is within my control.

I have shot over 100 weddings in the past 4 seasons. 2013 is my 6th season shooting weddings!

Awful, awful, awful. For too many reasons to list. Enough said. Read less

Erika was fantastic. I had a little DIY backyard wedding, and when Erika arrived to start taking photos at the time we’d agreed upon, I was still scrambling to get all of the set up done and wasn’t nearly ready to be photographed. I felt terrible, but Erika had such a good attitude, and jumped right in and started helping set up the dessert table. I was so appreciative of her kindness and flexibility. When I had trouble pinning on my groom’s boutonniere, she even helped with that. When it did come time to start taking photos, Erika was wonderful at getting shots quickly so that we didn’t have to spend a lot of time standing around and posing awkwardly. My husband, who hates having his picture taken, was especially pleased with this. Near the end of the wedding, my husband remarked that Erika “felt like one of our friends,” rather than a photographer who we’d only just met! Our photos ended up colorful and lighthearted, and really reflected the style and feel of our wedding.

Erika is wonderful!! We hired her for our upcoming wedding and also had her do our engagement pictures. From the beginning Erika was professional and prompt in our communication. She was easy to set up meetings with and accommodated the date we needed for our engagement pictures due to us living out of town. My fiance generally does NOT photograph well but she got wonderful shots of us. She was also flexible and helped us execute any picture ideas we had. Very much looking forward to her shooting our wedding!

So often, I have felt uncomfortable with photographers. It's always, "Chin up, look that way, eyes here, move your hand to the left". Erika is nothing like those photographers. She really puts you at ease. She understands that no one likes to look 'posed', and while she will recommend particular situations for you and your groom, they are very cute and she doesn't over-do the directions. That way, we ended up looking very natural! Erika has done our engagement photos, and I am SO excited for our wedding, because I do not have to worry about an awkward photographer. Even my fiance, who is not a photography person, is very comfortable and at ease with Erika.
Really, it's like getting awesome pictures from a friend, rather than some over-priced all-business photog.

You will not find a more fun and easy to work with photographer than Erika!! She put us so at ease with both our engagement session and at our wedding, and the pictures are just so wonderful. She helped so much the day of the wedding with things totally not her job and she felt more like a friend than a "hired vendor." We just can't say enough about her personality and her quality of work. You won't be disappointed :)

I spoke with many photographers when I started to plan my big day and Erika out did herself!!!! I worked midnights and sent her an email to find out more info about her services and she emailed me back that night!!! I couldn't believe it!!! Then we scheduled a meeting to sit down (cause I had to have a good feel for the person that was going to capture one of the biggest events of my life) and from there it was history. I went home that night and told my now husband i don't care what she costs I want her!!! I loved erikas joyful demeanor, her huge smile and her passion for photography. I was a bride on a budget and Erika worked with me so I was able to get a day full of happiness :) Her professionalism was out of this world. She took so good care of me and my bridal party the day of the wedding. I have for sure found the person that will be taking pictures for me in the future but also I walked away with a great friend!!!!

Erika is great - for both my daughter and son-in-law's engagement pictures and the "teaser" wedding pictures on Facebook - they were all great. Not only is Erika a great photographer, she is really fun, but can take charge if necessary!

Erika was great!!! She was so much fun to work with and I loved her sense of humor and joy she had while doing our photography. She did our engagement shoot and wedding day photos. During our engagement shoot she spent more time than she had to...we probably spent 3-4 hours during our engagement shoot and the shoot was only supposed to be 1-2 hours...but she spent more time with us because she was "having so much fun"! Her pricing was very reasonable and the quality of the photos were spectacular! We loved her very much and had so much fun with her on our wedding day as well! Recommend Erika any day!!! :)

We booked Erika based on her website and we were THRILLED with the service she provided for us! She was very easy to work with and did such a great job. She did such a good job with all of the photos and was very quick at getting the shots all done. She kept us moving and the posed and candid pictures were outstanding. We loved the ability to use the DVD and to make online photobooks. She was very professional but also a lot of fun to be around.
